Windows Phone 7, an intuitive user interface, feel the experience :)

Go ahead and stare the user interface of the Windows Phone 7 Series deserves it. That’s the reaction of people at Mobile World Conference in Barcelona. This new holistic design system that brings together form and function based on key principles – informing every aspect of the phone.

I like the typography and clean intuitive rich User interface which creates the simplicity feeling and unrivaled mobile experience. With a holistic design that brings together web content, applications and services into a single view, phones worships you now, not the other way around.

I like to play with this phone in hand to see the real time experience and how the form factor and performance is?

What you think about it. I like to know your comments about your current phone User interface, are you really satisfied with what you have it?

Check out the above video to get a first-hand look at the latest Windows Phone 7 🙂

actface Rhythm: Mobile interface design “experience it”

I’ve recently stumbled upon an interesting interface design by teamlab, the way they designed and looked into the natural dynamics of touch interface is amazing. I liked it personally very much such an amazingly rich, engaging experience that’s just bursting with possibility for further creativity. 🙂

“Actface” is a mobile device designed to create new contents using meta information of users behaviors.”

“Actface Rhythm is not a phone designed to produce music, but a phone that produces an internal rhythm, a moving image that is produced through the everyday use and the rhythm of pressing the keys. We regularly press keys to make a call, and to send a mail, and we considered this to be a natural rhythm. We designed actface Rhythm’s interface to produce an ink painting world that is created by the user, and as the phone is used the ink painting continues to develop and move with the rhythm you create.”

Design Considerations for Touch UI – Visualized

Designers at Punchcut prepared this video to illustrate the thinking about touch UI design. Designing for touch-based mobile user interfaces requires new thinking and an expanded design vocabulary. I am really excited and have copuple of plans for experiments with touch UI which i will update here soon. 🙂

Some important snippets are:

  • Design for immediate access
  • Keep gestures smart and simple
  • Leverage clear mental models
  • Design for real hand sizes
  • Touch feedback is key
